Chokalingaswami Idol Thr. R.N.Pillai vs Gnanapragasam (Dead) By Lrs

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, claiming title to property as belonging to an idol, failed to establish ownership under the relevant settlement deed dated 21st September 1930. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof lies on the plaintiff to demonstrate title, and found that the land in question was Government poramboke land, thus affirming the lower court's decision. The appeal was dismissed, confirming that the idol had no rights over the disputed property.
